Editorial on MHS mock election mirrors state results
The school held a mock election with outcomes closely matching state results. President elect Nixon won over rivals. Stanley beat Hughes, and Robert Ray won governor. Agriculture and Vietnam questions showed similar preferences, with strong support for more force, adherence to policies, or withdrawal. The editor calls this a valuable experience encouraging ongoing student engagement.
